17-Blade NIDEC vs 23-Blade Delta / NMB — Which One Do You Need?
Sony shipped two cooling fan designs across the original PS5 production run. This product is the like-for-like NIDEC OEM. The 23-blade Delta / NMB is the alternative quieter upgrade.
17-Blade NIDEC (This Listing)
Part: G12L12MS1AH-56J14
Maker: NIDEC Corporation
Blades: 17
Current: 1.9A — 2.4A (variable)
Condition: Brand new OEM — never used
Cooling: Original PS5 spec airflow
Best for: Exact like-for-like factory replacement
23-Blade Delta / NMB (Alternative)
Part: 12047GA-12M-WB-01
Maker: Delta Electronics / NMB Technologies
Blades: 23
Current: 2.4A (consistent)
Condition: PULL-A bench-tested premium pull
Cooling: Up to 40% quieter, more airflow
Best for: Buyers who want quieter operation
Want quieter operation instead? Both fans fit the same original PS5 CFI-1xxx models and use the same 3-pin connector. If your goal is noise reduction rather than a factory-correct match, browse the 23-blade Delta / NMB upgrade in our repair parts & tools range.
What "Brand New OEM" Actually Means
Brand new means the fan has never been installed in a console, never refurbished, never pulled from a used unit. It ships in a sealed anti-static bag straight from the NIDEC OEM line — the same factory line that supplies original 17-blade fans for early PS5 production.
Never Used, Never Pulled
Factory-fresh stock. Not refurbished. Not pulled from a used PS5. Not bench-tested for wear — because it has no wear to test for.
Genuine NIDEC OEM Spec
Same airflow, same noise floor, same blade balance, same connector pinout as the fan that originally shipped in the console — because it is the same fan.
Sealed Anti-Static Packaging
Each fan ships sealed in an anti-static bag with foam padding — pins protected, blades guarded against transit damage.
12-Month Replacement Cover
Manufacturing-fault cover for 12 months from purchase — we forward replacements from the Forest Lake bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my PS5 has a 17-blade or 23-blade fan?+
The only reliable way is to physically inspect the fan inside your console. Remove the PS5 side panel and look at the fan — count the blades or read the part number printed on the fan housing. Part number G12L12MS1AH-56J14 is the 17-blade NIDEC (this product). Part number 12047GA-12M-WB-01 is the 23-blade Delta / NMB (a separate listing). Sony shipped both fan types across the original PS5 production run, so the CFI model number alone is not enough — always check physically before ordering.
Is this an OEM fan or an aftermarket clone?+
This is a genuine OEM-quality replacement fan manufactured by NIDEC Corporation — the same factory that supplied original 17-blade fans for early PS5 production. The part number G12L12MS1AH-56J14 matches the original Sony specification. It is not a third-party clone, not a generic copy and not a relabelled marketplace knock-off — the NIDEC factory marking is on the fan housing.
Is this fan brand new or refurbished?+
Brand new — never installed in a console, never refurbished and never pulled from a used PS5. The fan ships sealed in an anti-static bag straight from the NIDEC OEM production line. There is no bearing wear, no blade dust, no prior install marks. If you are after a tested second-hand pull instead, the 23-blade Delta / NMB PULL-A is the alternative listing — this product is brand new factory stock.
Should I upgrade to the 23-blade fan instead?+
If your goal is an exact like-for-like replacement — restoring the console to its original spec with no surprises — the 17-blade NIDEC on this listing is the right choice. If your goal is quieter operation, the 23-blade Delta / NMB upgrade fits the same original PS5 CFI-1xxx models and runs noticeably quieter at the same airflow. Both options use the same 3-pin connector and 60mm cable — the choice is "factory-correct match" vs "quieter upgrade."
Will this fan fix my PS5 overheating shutdowns?+
Often yes — especially when the original fan is dust-clogged, bearing-worn, running on a slow current or has stopped spinning entirely. A brand new NIDEC restores full original-spec airflow through the heatsink, which lowers APU and PSU temperatures during gameplay and stops the "PS5 is too hot" warning. For best results, pair the new fan with a heatsink dust-clean and a fresh thermal-paste application. If the console still overheats after a clean fan swap and repaste, the next step is to check the liquid metal layer on the APU.
Will it fit the PS5 Slim or PS5 Pro?+
No. The PS5 Slim (CFI-2015A/B, CFI-2016A/B) uses a smaller, redesigned cooling assembly with a different fan housing and connector layout. The PS5 Pro (CFI-7000 / CFI-7016) uses a different fan again. This 17-blade NIDEC unit only fits original PS5 consoles in the CFI-1xxx series. Ordering for a Slim or Pro by mistake means a return at your cost — check the model sticker on the base of the console first.
Can I install this fan myself or should a technician do it?+
PS5 fan replacement is a full teardown — covers off, motherboard shields off, heatsink off, fan out, new fan in, repaste, reassemble. It needs a T8 Torx driver, plastic pry tools, an ESD strap and fresh thermal paste. A confident DIYer with electronics-repair experience can do it in 60-90 minutes. If you have never opened a console, a console-repair tech (including our Forest Lake bench) is the safer choice — an incorrect install can damage the motherboard.
Do I need to update PS5 firmware after installing the fan?+
No. The PS5 fan controller treats every 12V DC, 3-pin fan as the same component. There is no firmware change, no system-software flag, no pairing routine. Power on, the fan spools up, the system reads RPM through the same header, and that is it. The fan is plug-and-play once the connector is firmly seated.
Does swapping the fan void my Sony PlayStation warranty?+
Yes — opening a sealed PS5 console removes the factory tamper sticker and ends the original Sony warranty. If your console is still inside its first 12 months and still under Sony cover, do not open it — contact Sony PlayStation support first. This fan is intended for out-of-warranty consoles, third-party repair shops, refurbishers and DIY upgrades on consoles where the factory warranty has already expired.
What is covered by the 12-month replacement and how do I claim?+
Cover runs for 12 months from purchase against manufacturing fault — bearing failure, RPM drop, motor stall under normal use. To claim, post or drop the fan back to Shop 3A, 152 Woogaroo St, Forest Lake QLD 4078 with proof of purchase. Cover excludes physical damage, blade strikes, liquid damage, modification, install in the wrong console family (Slim / Pro / PS4) and consequential damage to the host console.
